New Woman

So many people came and attended my Session, and I appreciate it so much. Here are just a handful of people that were still hanging around by the time I came back out of the Temple. Mostly family, and a few good friends. Sorry I didn't get more pictures of everyone.

Doing my Endowments at the temple was Amazing.

It was a very spiritual and unforgettable experience for me.

I really only burst out into tears twice. Okay, maybe four times.

1. Doing my initiatory.

2. In the chapel when I turned around and saw all my family and friends entering the room.

3. In the Celestial room when my mother in law started crying. She was so happy for me, but I knew why she was crying.

4. A Sister working at the temple whispered to me to keep being an example to my family, and they would be at the temple with me soon. She didn't even know my situation, but I felt the spirit so strong, and couldn't help but cry.

Honestly, I prayed this week that I would not be too emotional. It seems like a silly thing to pray about, but to me it was a big deal. I was so happy to be going through the temple, but I felt so sad on Monday thinking about my children, and Seth. I was wishing he would be there with me, and that I could be sealed to him and my children. I felt peaceful the rest of the week.

I really thought my experience was amazing, and although I cannot speak of what was the most spiritual and amazing to me, for those of you that are not LDS, it is not because it is a secret, it is because it is so sacred, that we cannot speak of the things that happen there outside of the Temple.

I do have more to say about garments. (& I am not judging anyone that has ever said anything about them, because I have made my own little jokes about garments too, or talked about how I didn't want to wear them) but I do want to say that I now understand their sacred meaning, and find it astonishing. I feel so privileged to be wearing them, and I hope everyone can remember how lucky we are to be wearing them.

I feel so lucky, and loved ( By my family and friends, and by our Heavenly Father)

I also want to Thank everyone so much for being so supportive of me, and all my desires. It truly means so much to me. Thank You.

I am a New Woman today!
